The opening three-pointer in basketball

Eighteen thousand fans gathered at the Minnesota Target Center, many of whom were wearing jerseys from Garnett's time with the Timberwolves.

There were many fans holding banners together.

"Kevin, thank you."

"Kevin, we'll be better."

"Kevin, bless you, bless the Timberwolves."

Most of these fans are older, and there are even more younger fans wearing Baiyi jerseys.

Soon after, players from the two teams came to the stadium amid the shouts of the DJ on site.

When Garnett entered the stadium, the fans gave him warm cheers.

When Bai Yi introduced, louder cheers erupted and more fans shouted loudly.

Today, as before, Bai Yi was the last one to enter the venue, enjoying the last and warmest applause from the fans.

O'Neal couldn't help but sigh: "Bai is really great. It only took him one season to become the real king of Minnesota."

Barkley nodded, "Yes, Bai is definitely the most impressive player right now. In fact, it's not just Minnesota. Bai is influencing more people."

"If you go to play in outdoor courts and look at those young people, you will definitely find that more and more players are learning to shoot three-pointers for free."

"His shot selection is becoming a new favorite among young fans around the world."

"I have no doubt that Bai will become a national idol like Kobe."

O'Neal couldn't help but feel a little envious when he thought of Kobe.

They are both core players of the Lakers dynasty, but the gap in popularity and commercial value between the two is too big.

Kenny Smith smiled and said: "Let's get back to the game. Who do you think you are more optimistic about?"

O'Neal said: "I support the Timberwolves even more. Bai's running distance should be the first in the league. I very much doubt whether the three old men of the Celtics can follow Bai's running distance for three quarters."

"Hahaha, according to my understanding, the Celtics are in very good shape recently. These old guys have shown great strength. They may not be willing to be the foil of the Heat this season, so don't underestimate the Celtics.

Old man..."

Barkley continued: "So I'm better at driving the Celtics."

Kenny Smith was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect Barkley to say this.

"Man, your idea makes no sense. It's just wishful thinking."

Not only the TNT trio are discussing it, but many netizens are also discussing it.

In the comments of netizens, those who support the Celtics account for the majority.

After all, the Spurs, Thunder, Lakers, Bulls, and Heat all want the Timberwolves to lose, and almost no team wants the Timberwolves to win.

Of course, these remarks and opinions will not affect the players on the court.

At this time, the starting players of both teams were already standing on the court, and the substitute players returned to the bench.

Timberwolves starting lineup: Bai Yi, Tucker, Reggie, Morris Jr., and Pekovic.

Celtics starting lineup: Rondo, Pierce, Garnett, Ray Allen, and Perkins.

When the whistle sounded, Perkins and Pekovic grabbed the ball.

Perkins was more explosive and passed the ball to Rondo.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Rondo moved forward with the ball, and then passed the ball to Ray Allen. Facing Reggie's defense, Ray Allen did not hesitate and raised his hand for a three-pointer.

The basketball flew up, crossed an arc, and flew into the net.

Ray Allen deserves to be the three-point king surpassing Miller.

He's in good shape and he's shooting three-pointers very hard.

Reggie didn't actually lose his position just now. He had raised his hands with all his strength, but he still couldn't stop Ray Allen.

The game continued, and a moment later, the Celtics attacked again.

Rondo held the ball past halftime.

Garnett, Ray Allen, and Pierce raised their hands to ask for the ball at the same time, and the three big guys raised their hands at the same time.

If it were this other person, I'm afraid he would have passed the basketball out in a hurry.

But Rondo was very calm.

He has always been a very independent person.

In fact, all Celtics players know that Rivers is a master of chicken soup, but his technical and tactical skills are limited.

In the Celtics, Rondo is responsible for formulating technical and tactical aspects, while Rivers is responsible for cheering the players on.

At this time, the three giants of the team raised their hands, and they seemed to be in excellent condition.

It seems that there should be no preference for one, but Rondo feels that Ray Allen's scoring now is of greatest value to the team. After all, he shoots three-pointers.

It's not something the other two players can compare to.

Rondo quickly ignored Pierce and Garnett and passed the basketball to Ray Allen, who caught the ball and threw the basketball again with a three-pointer.

The basketball flew up, crossed an arc, and flew into the net.

He can still make it, he deserves to be Ray Allen.

Jun Zijian himself was also very happy. He clenched his fists and showed a satisfied smile.

The game continued, and after a while, Ray Allen continued to shoot three-pointers. His shooting percentage today was indeed very good, and Reggie had no temper at all.

Only then did Reggie realize that none of these long-established stars could be easily dealt with.

A player of his level is not at the same level as them.

Fortunately, the Timberwolves had no intention, otherwise, the game would not have been played at all.

The Celtics have a really good lineup. Rondo is a point guard. Although he has no scoring ability, he defends well and is well organized. What's more, he is very calm and mature.

In the entire league, it is estimated that Paul can compare with Rondo in this aspect.

He is a very good helmsman.

Inside are Perkins and Garnett. In addition, they also have Big Baby Davis and Ben Wallace.

Both defenses are very good.

The Celtics' insiders should be the best overall in the entire league.

In addition, there are Ray Allen and Pierce.

Ray Allen is the current three-point king.

And Pierce was once an offensive kaleidoscope, a man who was once second only to Kobe in the league.

In terms of the Celtics' player mix, it's even better than the Heat and Lakers.

The Celtics' biggest problem is that their core players are too old.

Under such circumstances, a few old men cannot run, attack or defend.

Just like this season, Garnett averages about 20 points per game, Pierce averages about 18 points per game, and Ray Allen only averages 15 points per game.

This is obviously far different from their scoring ability in their peak season.

The combined total of these three people is only fifty-five points, but at their peak, the three of them combined to exceed seventy-five points.

The difference is fifteen points.

That's why the Celtics have had so many twists and turns in the past two years.

But once the feeling comes, the condition will be better.

Then the Celtics' strength can increase exponentially. Just like now, Ray Allen is in good condition and scored 12 points in just four minutes of the first quarter.

If this situation continues, thirty points will be more than enough for him.
